PORSCHE 911 SAFARI

A Porche that can pretty much go over anything is a dream come true. The Porsche 911 Safari ($150,000) is one of three rally cars built to pay homage to the vehicle Dr. Erik Brandenburg used to finish the 2007 Trans-Syberia Rally. The car that’s for sale is a 1978 model and features a 3.2-liter 6-cylinder engine that pushes 231 horses and 210 lb-ft of torque. It rides on 16’s and features skid plates so there are no worries when heading over the roughest terrain.

If you love old school, I mean real old school styling, with modern tech, then you will fall in love with the Morgan EV3 ($41,000). The EV3 is built on the brand's three wheel platform and utilizes an emission free all-electric design. The power plant includes a 20kWh lithium Battery and a liquid cooled 46kW motor. Because the EV3 only weighs about 1100 lbs that setup enables it to drive about 150 miles on a full charge.As far as performance I would put the EV3 in the weekend touring car category. It has a 0-62 mph split time of under 9 seconds and a top speed of about 90 mph. Like I said, it's a nice car for hitting the country on a beautiful fall day, but not up to being considered a serious performance car.[gallery type="rectangular" ids="22607,22606,22605,22604,22603"]

Designed to slide from street-to-strip with ease, Dodge has just announced the release of the new 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody ($71,000). Completing the brand's current muscle car lineup, this popular model features the technological advances first seen in the SRT Demon and pairs them with a bolder and aggressive new look and improved performance. With the same fender flares as the SRT but wider, the car is also fitted with a new electric power steering system for the first time on a Hellcat model. Designed to win on the track, the mechanics of the car have been honed allowing it to achieve a 2 second per lap advantage and 0-60mph speed of 3.4 seconds.

The Morgan Motors Morgan Aero 8 ($TBA) is touted as a "True British Sports Car." Morgan says it's their most refined Aero to date. The Aero was designed for the driver to experience the environment with the top down the vast majority of the time. The clam shell rear trunk hides the mohair hood, while the optional hard top transforms the Aero into a beautiful coupe.The Aero 8 is powered by a BMW 4799CC V8, paired with a 6 speed manny. This combination will push 370 horses with a max torque of 370 lb/ft. Top speed is 170 mph.Now these specs might not be chart topping, but lets get real. The Aero 8 was meant for cruising the countryside in style, not for hitting the track. But it's nice to know its got a little kick if you need it.

Back in college, everyone loved MGB's and Triumphs. Although reliability was extremely spotty, they were easy to work on and looked really cool. There was nothing like cruising around town in a convertible during the first days of spring. Petrolicious has one of the nicest examples of these beautiful cars that I've seen in a while. This 1961 Triumph TR4 ($40,000) located in New York, NY was found by its current owner in a Kentucky tobacco barn. The car covered in dirt and rusting away had sat dormant for 40 years. Danny Morton from Sterling British Motoring Society in Kentucky took on the five-year task of restoring the vehicle. It features a deep black paint job, black wire wheels, and a custom red leather interior. The original bumpers were removed for a clean minimalist look. The engine is a 2138cc inline four cylinder paired with a four-speed manual tranny with 86,086 shown in the odometer. A great find for anyone feeling a little nostalgic.
